Chapter 526: You'll Eventually Come to Save Me

Wei Shouqin's remark, "Your piss is yellow and you're inflamed; you haven't slept together for over two months..." was like a precise poison needle, swooshing and stabbing into Peng Tianhua's vital point.

Peng Tianhua instinctively pulled his hand back.

He angrily retorted: "Surname Wei, I knew it, you're just a quack doctor! You don't know shit, your skill is worse than a fortune-teller setting up a stall at the park gate, spouting nonsense! Who said my piss is yellow and I'm inflamed? Who said my wife won't let me in bed? My relationship with my wife is great! My kidneys have no problems at all!"

"I never said your kidneys have a problem? That's what you yourself said." Wei Shouqin's gaze was truly like looking down on a clown, side-eyeing Peng Tianhua with contempt.

"Are you messing with me, huh?!"

Peng Tianhua rolled up his sleeves, his anger already bursting through the heavenly spirit cover.

Just as he was about to strike.

Wei Shouqin suddenly burst out with full confidence: "I can cure it; our family has an ancestral prescription—whether it's one wife or ten wives, I can easily handle them."

"!!!"

Peng Tianhua's raised fist was forcibly pulled back again.

There was a moment like that.

Peng Tianhua really wanted to drop to his knees with a thump, clutching Wei Shouqin's thigh and pleading—Divine Doctor, save me!

But his stubborn pride made him let out a derisive laugh: "Tch! Your martial-world scams might fool others, but they don't work on me."

"In the prime of life, unable to rise, huh..."

Wei Shouqin shook his head and let out Along sigh.

He then analyzed: "Based on my years of medical experience, your wife's disappointment in kicking you out of bed shows she has strong desires; you must be on guard against the neighbor Lao Wang..."

"What the hell is he saying, asking for a beating?"

Peng Tianhua suddenly grabbed Wei Shouqin's collar, but before he could strike, the next second Lin Dongfan seized his wrist.

Lin Dongfan said: "What are you doing? Let go."

"Director Lin, this bastard's words are infuriating! He seriously insults my dignity." Peng Tianhua, face red, demanded: "It's not regular work hours now; work matters can be set aside. This is a personal grudge between him and me, which must be settled privately! I strongly request that the female comrades present step out for a moment!"

The only female comrade present was Jian Sining.

Jian Sining, hearing that, was speechless, shook her head, and left the study. Peng Tianhua then told the two prosecutors: "You two should step out as well."

As the two prosecutors withdrew, they exchanged a knowing smile.

That faint smile made Peng Tianhua feel annoyed to his grandmother's house: "Laugh your ass off, get lost!" He shoved both of them out with his palms, slammed the study door, and locked it.

When he turned around.

Peng Tianhua immediately assumed a solemn, inviolable posture.

He sternly criticized Wei Shouqin: "Surname Wei, just now you insulted my dignity; according to my usual temper, even if I had to give up this official post, I'd still beat you black and blue! But..."

"But what?"

"Today I'm giving Director Lin face; as long as you show an attitude of making amends, I can let this slide today—we're also broad-minded people."

"How do you want me to make amends?"

"Aren't you supposed to have a doctor's parental heart? Aren't you supposed to be benevolent and skilled? Hand over your family's ancestral prescription, turn it over to the state, and benefit the people."

Saying this, Peng Tianhua righteously thrust his hand forward toward Wei Shouqin.

This seemingly righteous yet slightly shameless scene left Lin Dongfan looking admiring! Lao Peng is Lao Peng—he'd rather be a bandit than kneel for medicine; that's low enough.

Just don't know if Wei Shouqin will buy this.

Lin Dongfan observed Wei Shouqin's reaction.

Seeing Wei Shouqin comport himself like a worldly-wise sage, he actually smiled silently, as if he'd seen through all the world's tricks.

Lin Dongfan pondered left and right—investing in medicine also promises limitless profit.

So he couldn't resist suggesting to Wei Shouqin: "If you don't want to turn over your family's ancestral prescription to the state, how about selling it to me? Name your price."

At that moment, Lin Dongfan's mind already conjured the image of reselling the "Golden Spear Never-Falling Pill".

Wealth flowed in like a stream.

All of it flowed into his own hemp sack.

Unexpectedly, Wei Shouqin countered with a demand: "I can give you the family's secret prescription. I don't need any money—just consider it making friends. I have only one condition: don't mess with me."

Then there's nothing left to talk about.

Lin Dongfan regretfully patted Wei Shouqin's shoulder: "If we can't make a deal, you might as well kneel and beg for treatment. Though they say a man's knees hold gold, compared to the happiness of the rest of your life, gold is nothing. A man can fail anywhere, but his kidneys must be strong. Kneel—I'll pretend I didn't see."

"!!!"

Peng Tianhua wore a black line on his head, speechlessly asking the heavens: "What do you mean by pretending not to see? You're clearly seeing everything!"

Kneeling is out of the question—I'll never kneel for a corrupt official in this lifetime.

Peng Tianhua steeled himself, eyes locked on Wei Shouqin: "Regrettably, I must tell you, you gravely underestimated our sense of duty! Not arresting you is impossible—wake up!"

"What evidence do you have to arrest me? This makes no sense."

Seeing that this "business" was going nowhere, Wei Shouqin grew a bit guilty, unconsciously glancing at Lin Dongfan's Baby-Making Diary and that peculiar brass key.

That glance was caught by Lin Dongfan's eye.

Lin Dongfan immediately clasped his hands behind his back and smiled: "Bureau Chief Wei, how about this? You first give Old Peng a prescription, then we can slowly discuss your matter later."

"He's dead set on messing with me—why should I give him a prescription?" Wei Shouqin's face was indifferent.

Lin Dongfan glanced at the sea of Item on the ground: "Healing hands, benevolent heart—isn't that the medical ethics you swore by?"

"That was before; now I'm not a doctor." Wei Shouqin refused to compromise.

Lin Dongfan then waved the "Baby-Making Diary" under Wei Shouqin's nose.

He chatted unhurriedly: "Regarding the contents here, how did you explain it just now? You said: Although you're now in politics, you've never dared forget a doctor's heavenly duty. Within your ability, whenever a patient finds you, you help as much as you can, without taking a penny."

"!!!"

Faced with the "verbatim" Lin Dongfan, Wei Shouqin was glum and speechless, thinking, "Damn, you're a monster? I casually said something, and you remembered it word for word!"

Helplessly.

Wei Shouqin shifted his gaze onto Peng Tianhua: "For Director Lin's sake, I can give you a prescription, but you must admit your kidneys are no good."

!!!

This time it was Peng Tianhua's turn to be depressed and speechless.

Peng Tianhua lowered his head, agonizing for a while, until Lin Dongfan's impatient urging sounded in his ear: "If it's no, it's no—so embarrassing? Is your face more important, or your kidneys?"

"Of course the kidneys are more important."

Peng Tianhua finally let go of his pride.

He clasped his hands and bowed to Wei Shouqin: "Divine Doctor Wei, you're awesome! Just a touch and you know I haven't had sex in two months! Please write the prescription, I'm ashamed, I'm sick!"

"You really are sick, and it's not mild." Wei Shouqin gave a half-smile, selling a tease: "You'll surely come begging me sooner or later; I advise you to be polite to me, and don't get too full of yourself."
